Blonde (2022)
Disjointed
Why would a director describe a real life story missing huge chunks and important information of the main character's life. In the film Blonde we see a young Norma Jean placed into an orphanage and then suddenly appear as an adult auditioning for a film without any knowledge of how she obtained her new name Marilyn Monroe or how she actually got into acting - immediately you lose interest in the film as there is no substance and continuity - it's a complete mess from here on in other than the performance and likeliness of the actress Ana de Armas to Marylyn Monroe. It's beyond comprehension that the director and producers could waste a film by such a talent on an utter garbage screen play and or script. It receives 2 stars from me with the actress Ana de Armss receiving 5 stars. In summary what a waste- it could have been an outstanding depiction of the life of Marilyn Monroe.
Soundstage: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers: Part 1 (2003)
Outstanding Concert by a Music Legend
This concert is a pure joy to watch and listen to. One reviewer says Tom Petty is not a great singer but seems like a nice fellow. I beg to differ his voice is unique and he sings with his soul so to speak - a bit like Dylan you either get it or you don't. Tom Petty has written some classic songs either on his own or in collaboration with others and is a musical legend. As always his band (The Heartbreakers) are exemplary in this concert. The concert kicks off in style with "Baby Please Don't Go" and the band shows their individual talents with the outstanding "Melinda". Great to hear the classic "Little Red Rooster" sung by Tom with such feeling and blue tone with the band demonstrating their individual talents once again. The audience really got into this number as well.
I recommend this concert to all serious rock and blues lovers - Tom Petty left us too early and had lot more music in him - RIP
Flood (2007)
The Pits
How any actor could take part in this rubbish. The scrip was of the lowest quality for example the head of the flood barriers after getting on a boat downstream going with a high tide says "I must go back to the barriers" - how was she going to manage this given the strength of the tide she would have to swim against - a person in this position just would not say this ! A girl with her father trapped in a car says " we must get out of here" oh really!! These are just two examples of the poor scrip writing- The film was utter garbage.
